Can you remove the heatsink so this can be used on a laptop? I am surprised that the non-heatsink version is more expensive at $145.

The non-heatsink version is only $13 more. You really want to put your warranty in jeopardy for $13?

To answer your question -- probably. I had a few Nextorage SSD's with heatsink that I wanted to put in laptops and tried taking the heatsink off. It's doable, but it leaves behind a bunch of gunk that needed cleaning off the SSD chips (I use contact cleaner spray). It's a lot of work, definitely more than the $13 difference.

Every external enclosure I've seen expects no heatsink.

I've had good luck with this one https://www.amazon.com/Sabrent-Ty...08RVC6F9Y/

That list price is fake so don't think this price today is 50% off. At best this is 10$ off the same price its been since 2023 (has been as low as $121 IIRC).

Pretty much any SSD that meets the minimum requirements for the PS5 is usable. This is a better option than some of the others, however, to me, this is not a great price.

Why do you say that? What's better about this one in real world application and usage for a casual gamer?
